The EASIEST way to make a wesh wick & coil

[Monki]

Gave this a try the other night...have to say I prefer the coil method he uses...but I'm getting random shorts and ohm readings are up and down.

I think you really need to burn that coil on the mesh and keep turning it plenty

I imagine a tight fit mesh into the coil will help stop it slip once its built up an area of resistance around the mesh.
I will try again tonight....definitely beats burning the shiz out of stuff with pliers and gas hob
